While the Premier League and Champions League have cranked back into gear in recent weeks, Arsenal have enjoyed a spell of comparative calm.
Last weekend's clash with Chelsea was suspended due to the Blues' Club World Cup commitments and the lack of European football has given Mikel Arteta an extended spell of time on the training pitch with his players.
The Gunners have a chance to capitalise on some recent slips from their top-four rivals too, as home games against Brentford and Wolves in the space of five days represent a big chance to pick up six points.
